[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Chapter 48

Alphonse sat on his usual chair, let the black cat paw and pull on top of his head, and then one person and one cat yawned together, and their movements seemed to be very unified.

In fact, turning into various animals is almost routine for the little prince of Asgard.The defensive spells of the temple will only target large hostile targets, and after turning into an animal and actively compressing its own god core, this form of actively reducing threats can prevent dangerous magic from calling on itself like taking advantage of loopholes, so that Karl Modo was furious even more.

"Honestly, there's nothing I can do for you to kill Thor just like that."

Alphonse touched the top of Loki's head, the little shop assistant was very curious, and when he wanted to reach out to try the feel, Loki showed his paw and slapped it away: "Let's not mention that his divine core is now Blockade, this is considered to be taking advantage of others. If I really do this, your father will probably consider blowing up the atrium directly, and then cause a battle between the Supreme Mage, the Wanhua Mirror and the Lord of the Gods...Those three people just learned it a few months ago. Doudizhu, I don't really want the earth to suffer from such an indiscriminate disaster."

Loki tilted his head, of course he knew.Midgard is a planet protected by mystery. From the perspective of astrology, it is located in the center of the Nine Realms, and it is easy to attract disasters and be coveted by others. What's even better is that the degree of civilization of this planet And the mysterious power is not considered developed. According to the progress of the world, if there is nothing sheltering here, the earth has long been occupied by waves of enemies from the universe.

"Then don't meddle in my business."

The black cat uttered words, flicking its big fluffy tail back and forth: "Anyway, try not to cause casualties on the earth, isn't it all right? I remember that you have several dangerous no-man's lands, let me throw that bastard into the Sahara to the heart of the desert."

Alphonse agreed while being perfunctory: "Okay, okay, before you do that, do you want to buy some souvenirs with the characteristics of the atrium? The cultural style here is different from Asgard, and it is also different from Vanaheim. , Frigg will definitely like it."

Loki seemed to be moved by this suggestion, jumped off Alphonse's body, and turned into a tall and handsome young man as soon as he landed: "Then find someone to take me there, I'd like to see Look, what is the attraction in the atrium, so that the Wanhua Mirror who has become an inhuman existence can still watch it all the time."

This is a conversation between big bosses. The little clerk had been sitting at the cash register all the time and kept silent, but unexpectedly, his boss really threw this difficult task to him. ——I saw Alphonse pull out a bank card from the counter, and knocked on his computer screen with the edge of a corner: "You can go to the well-known shopping areas in New York City, I have something else to do , you take him there."

The detective who was still immersed in the magical scene of transforming from a cat into a human in an instant: "...??"

If I remember correctly, the existing records on this person's profile card are "Number One Sorcerer of the Nine Realms" and "Second Heir to the Throne of Asgard"? ?

"boss?"

He raised his voice and let out a mournful cry, but Alphonse was unmoved in the slightest, and even this somewhat extreme reaction got Loki a sneer, and the other party completely showed the general reaction of "seeing a new object of entertainment".

Loki Odinson, the god of trickery, dragged his new little follower out of the Edelfelt Jewelry Store, and Alphonse sat down in the middle of the empty shop, and took out a complex gemstone from his palm. The jewel of light.

Opal, characterized by the collection of various colors, can be called the palette of the gem world. In the field of magic, this feature is often used to record some complex specialties that cannot be accurately described by words, sounds, and images.

Talking to smart people has always only required half-talking. Logically speaking, Alphonse should come to accompany Loki in person, but the other party just accepted the clerk arranged by Alphonse, even if the other party is someone who doesn't know anything about occultism. A pure layman, a complete ant in the courtyard... That is to say, he will no longer interfere with Alphonse's next actions and accept all possible results.

Loki's words can never be fully believed. Even if the other party tells the truth, it is very likely that it is the misleading part. Alphonse understands this very well after getting along with him over the years, so the only thing that can be confirmed is, simply Er was indeed deprived of his divine power by Odin and sent to the atrium, and there is now a lot of conflict between Loki and Thor.

Considering Odin's character, this kind of delegation is likely to be some kind of experience. As for why Loki ran to the atrium with him and threatened to kill his brother... Alphonse can only say that maybe they have some experience. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the little prince who had seriously prepared for the enthronement ceremony to turn his back on him in just a few months...at least on the surface.

——As a result, he was imprisoned in the S.H.I.E.L.D.

All in all, let's use Thor as a breakthrough first.The alchemist had sorted out his inventory, and was about to draw a portal in the air, when he heard a notification sound from the phone:

[Mr. Alphonse, are you going to conduct a dangerous operation that requires a brief offline? ]

Alphonse: "...what?"

It seems that because Tony Stark's sense of presence was so prominent a while ago, the artificial intelligence whose original purpose was to "monitor and return information" has not actively spoken for a long time, and it is so quiet that Alfon Si somewhat ignored its existence, but today Friday suddenly took the initiative to speak up and changed his usual questioning style.

"If necessary, you now have the authority to provide armed support for twelve Stark Industries steel suits."

The artificial intelligence introduced politely: "Stark Industries also has [-] global positioning satellites, which can provide technical support for your actions, as long as your range of activities is still on the earth."

This is like using artificial intelligence to speak bluntly in various industries of the crazy Amistak industry: "The activation password of MarkA still uses your iris as the identification key, so you can also choose to carry MarkA with you to perform tasks .”

"What new paid activity is this?"

Alphonse asked cautiously.

The gentle female voice paused for a moment, and then answered the question smoothly: "Sir said, this is a value-added service that comes with the contract he purchased to have dinner with you."

And the other party actually sent a scanned document of the contract from the mobile phone, with a template of Stark Industries' unified standard.

This time, the alchemist, who has always been rigorous and serious, finally didn't hold back, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth amidst the sound of the wind chimes pushing open the shop door.

S.H.I.E.L.D., an island in the Atlantic Ocean.

Alphonse bluntly teleported to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base where Saul was. After briefly asking the monitors, he found out that the other party was still unwilling to give up and tried to lift Mjolnir more than a dozen times a day.

His life here has not been greatly restricted. After all, he is the eldest prince of Asgard. After he found out that the crown prince has no malicious intentions, he even got along with the garrison troops here quite harmoniously— —Aside from bad habits like beating cups and the like, Thor himself is a person who is good at blending into the ranks of soldiers, even the army facing the atrium. Soon the S.H.I.E.L.D. Just accepted this big blond guy who is always happy, and even tried to take him with him in daily training, and compete with the man who is said to be the real god of Asa.

In fact, even if he lost his divine power, Sol's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people. After doing nearly a hundred pull-ups in a row, he is still out of breath, and he can continue to do push-ups with one hand. For the second time, he faced the challenge of a large group of "atrium warriors" in his eyes.

He is the eldest son of Asgard, the star in everyone's eyes, the god of thunder who replaced Odin in all directions, and the darling of the gods, even in a remote place like Midgard, such characteristics Still, he was quickly welcomed by everyone.

He shared the knowledge and stories of Asgard with everyone present without any qualms, even if some of the detectives took out their mobile phones and recording pens, they didn't care—or he didn't know who it was at all. Something: "God Asa promised to bless Midgard thousands of years ago, so when I go back, I will keep my promise and continue to protect this planet!"

"What kind of protection?"

Someone asked: "Stop the war?"

This question is very broad and ingenious. It is intended to test the extent of Asgard's interference with the earth. Although Thor didn't think about it at all, this answer has provided enough information:

"Unfortunately, if it is an internal war breaking out in your atrium, God's protection for each atrium person should be balanced and equal, and it will not be biased towards a small number of atrium people. We are in the universe. Most of the things they do are to prevent those cosmic robbers with evil intentions from doing things like robbing the planet, and intercepting the danger where you can't see it."

Thor replied: "This is the responsibility of those who can hold Thor's hammer."

He allowed everyone who was interested to try to pull his Thor's hammer, and no surprise, everyone came back.Aside from the unresolved problems of not being able to return to Asgard and not being able to pick up Thor's Hammer, everything in the atrium looked better than he had imagined.

In a sense, thanks to a certain alchemist's entrustment - this guy has a very stubborn mind, you can just put him and the garrison together for a big pot of rice, and too complicated interrogation will make him feel uncomfortable. I'm bored, this person has no diplomatic plans at all. Asgard has been looking for the most capable person to be the king since ancient times. The reason is the same as Stark's idea of ​​​​using arms to build peace within the range of Stark's missiles. About the same.

"Then someone has to do these things!"

Fury felt incredible: "Is Asgard the most powerful race in the universe?"

"Doesn't he have a younger brother?"

Alphonse stretched his waist: "That guy is the silver tongue of Asgard. You can understand that the situation is similar to that of Atlantis. This kind of problem can always be solved."

Fury left very worried. He felt that this kind of monarchy system based on the size of the fist and the closeness of blood was not OK, but the two countries that took the magic route were like this, which made people feel very incredible.

Just when Saul was telling everyone the story that he was "instigated by his younger brother to steal Eden's golden apple when he was more than 700 years old" and was beaten on the spot after returning home, Alchemy The teacher suddenly appeared and interrupted a person who complained about "why did you two do bad things, and you were the only one who got beaten?"

"Ah, the magician of the courtyard."

Although still cautious about magic, the blond man still opened his mouth openly: "What's the matter this time? You found a way to get me back to Asgard? That's right, since your master knows my father , there should be a way to contact Heimdall..."

"Unfortunately, Mr. Heimdall will not answer my call."

Alphonse lowered his eyes, and took out the complex-colored opal from the palm of his hand: "Your brother Loki is temporarily staying with me, and his emotions are sealed in this gem."

During the period when Loki was briefly drunk, the gem dealer did nothing, but turned on the recording function of that opal, recording the emotions that went through Loki's mind at that time.If even being drunk is not enough to make the tight-lipped little Prince Asa speak his true thoughts, then maybe occultism can.

The gem was stuck to Sol's forehead, and the information sealed in it gradually flowed into his mind and soul.

What are emotions?If you use Tony Stark's idea to describe it, it may be the complex chemical reactions in the body, it is pheromones, it is the signal transmission of nerve endings, it is the hyperfunction between receptors and neurotransmitters... Maybe it is true That's true, but it's more than that when it comes to the realm of the occult and gem magic.

They have lived together for more than 1000 years, even if there are always estrangements and rifts, maybe those mysteries and truths that they can't get in touch with can be conveyed to the great prince of Asgard in this way...

Opal is famous all over the world for its special color-changing effect. No matter how treacherous thoughts and slender thoughts are, all of them can be burned into it with special magic formulas, and can be accurately conveyed to the target. There is nothing better than this A more convenient method, Alphonse thought, he was satisfied to see that after the magic power was triggered, Thor's eyes widened, and then he showed an expression as if he had been hit by a hammer, as if he had suffered some serious injuries.

It may be grievance, resentment, jealousy, pain, the scattering of dark dust for thousands of years, and the old dust hidden deep in the library of Asgard that is not illuminated by the sun.

It is a corner that cannot be noticed under the lights of the stage, it is the light, and the shadow that is born against the light.

"In this case, I think you should be able to understand..."

Before Alphonse finished speaking, he was lifted up by the blond man with his feet off the ground. Sol held his collar and stared angrily: "You kidnapped Loki? What did you do to him? What, you evil magician!"

Alphonse: "...???"

The alchemist, who had always been strategizing, finally had a crack in his expression.
